Hey all the hotel i work at currently is contracting the AV department out to a separate company. First off we were going to be rolled into AVI-SPL, but about 2 weeks ago AVI sold their AV production division to Encore Events. I just wanted to see if anyone has any previous experience with this...

one thing we use in my job is called magenta boxes. they go from VGA to Cat5 from a transmitter to a receiver. I cant talk on price though. We've used them for well over 200 ft runs. you could also look at a Distributor Amplifier for the multiple vga runs, though magenta does have a DA splitter...

well we cut the breakers for power to all motors and changed out the cable and motor and the problem stopped. We checked the cables afterwards but didnt see any problems.

Hey all i just had a weird incident at my job a few days ago; we were setting up some truss and motors for a projection setup. All the motors were hooked up to the beams and to motor control, as we were testing the motors to make sure they were all working one of the chains hit the truss and...

Thanks everybody for your suggestions . I'll give them a try and comeback when I get it working.

$10 per hour Spotlight for Peter Pan ballet when I was a junior in High school. Wasn't half bad.

Wow I didn't know there was going to be this much response from the thread. Thank You all for the help. To Amore: I would think so to, but I always worked during the summer and I never did any summer stock jobs. Where I live there are a few theatres and I never got a lot of theatre work...

Hi allI am looking at joining the USAF Reserves and I am wondering if anyone has had experience with how it interacts with your career if anyone has done reserve service before. Im just trying to see if it is something I can do while beginning a career in theatre or is it too intensive and...

I Have run into a few IALD websites and articles before, but I haven't heard of IES. I suppose the main problem I'll run into with architectural versus entertainment is that I would have to consider more regulation codes and electrical theories and practices, whereas entertainment is more self...

Thanks for the response! To answer ruinexplorer first, I'm not under any delusions that I will be numero uno in designing for a large show for a while, in college I was essentially the Student ME. I was the only LD student in the whole department and if the one and only one Stage and Lighting...
